Question

Export destination path is reset

Dear Community,

by defining the export settings for a LrExportSession we are delivering a destination path to LR_export_destinationPathPrefix for saving the exported images.

After installing Lightroom 2015.4 this destination path is ignored and reset to the "Desktop" during the processing of doExportOnCurrentTask. Now every exported image is placed on the Desktop and not inside the defined destination path anymore. Before I installed 2015.4 I used 2015.3 and everything works fine.

Did Adobe adjust or expand this field of "Exporting" or could it just be a bug?

Set the LR_export_destinationType to "specificFolder". Otherwise it defaults to "desktop".

I see this now, too. Defaults to Desktop every single export. Before, it would default to the last used Export folder. What gives?

Are you writing your own plugin that does exports, or are you invoking File > Export from the user interface? If the latter, see this thread for how to fix the issue: Re: Export not remembering last folder I exported to

I just tested a couple of my plugins that use LR_export_destinationPathPrefix in CC 2015.4, and they continue to work as before. It's certainly possible that a bug was introduced that affects your plugin but not mine.   Perhaps you'll have to do the tedious work for narrowing down to a small reproducible test plugin -- in the process, you'll either have a test case that Adobe might be willing to look at and/or you've identified the conditions that trigger the issue and identified a workaround and/or you've found a bug in your code.   (I think that Adobe is unlikely to look at any test case in a bug report that takes more than 10-20 lines of code.)
